Originally named Lingaiah, which I found to be an awkward Hindu name, I'was recently renamed Elijah by Mother Eli. I was brought from the slums of Ongole at a very young age, in a desperate and shabby condition. When I arrived, I hadn't eaten anything for four days because I couldn't find any free food. My lack of access to proper hygiene had made me sick, suffering from pneumonia and other health problems. It was clear that I couldn't be left in that condition. I found myself living with my cousins, all of us in miserable conditions. Despite the hardships, my smile became a source of motivation for those caring for me. This encouragement pushed them to work even harder to provide a better life for all of us.
